After the heartbreak of losing both Geralt and Superman, Cavill charged into 2024 with renewed fire, unveiling a wave of fresh projects. Yet in the ever-shifting realm of streaming, timing reigns supreme, allowing past triumphs to rise again, breathing new life just like his 2024 hit.

Released in 2024, the action war film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is enjoying a remarkable resurgence, climbing to number three worldwide on HBO’s Top Movies list and securing a spot in the top five across more than thirty countries.

Blending high-stakes World War II sabotage with daring black-ops drama, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare stormed US theaters alongside Abigail and Spy × Family Code: White.
